The music in the game is widely praised for its melancholic, soothing soundtrack that perfectly complements the game's emotional and lonely atmosphere. Players enjoy the interactive music system that allows mixing and broadcasting, enhancing immersion and making music an emotional core of the experience. While the soundtrack is excellent and central to the game's charm, some note its limited track variety leading to occasional repetitiveness.
- “First of all, the most notable thing about this game is the soundtrack, with insane Life is Strange vibes. I easily imagine myself listening to these songs on a road trip or lying in a grass field.”
- “A major highlight is the music system, which allows players to create and modify broadcasts using different instruments and sound combinations.”
- “The soundtrack itself is excellent, combining melancholic melodies with softer ambient pieces that perfectly complement the game’s lonely atmosphere.”
- “The high point of this game is the music, it is calm and fits the environment exceptionally well, but there are only 5 tracks and it gets a bit repetitive.”
- “There's a loop of very loud music that could not be lowered, and the menu would not load.”

story

The story offers a heartfelt, intimate narrative centered on a girl helping others feel less alone in a somber, atmospheric world, praised for its emotional depth, music, and unique storytelling style. While some quests and controls may feel awkward or limiting, the overall experience is highly regarded as a beautifully crafted, short tale that leaves players wanting more.
- “The story never frames her as someone capable of saving the world; instead, she simply wants to help people feel less alone.”
- “Even for such a short amount of playtime the storytelling was amazing, the interactivity felt just right, and everything clicked together so beautifully.”
- “In a way, it has similar vibes, but the story beats go completely different direction, where Firewatch takes you on a grand journey full of mystery and intrigue, End Transmission just tells a humble story of a girl, fulfilling her own dreams at the end of the world, and helping others fulfill theirs.”
- “Along with a few quests, the only reasonable way to complete them is through brute force.”
- “Sometimes I have multiple quests going at once and yet I'm still stuck waiting for Tuvi to return so I can send him out again — more time I could have spent trying to forward something else, and more time I have to argue with the knobs.”
- “Another flaw or challenge to the game is some missions require guessing the approximate location.”
